Thermopane Glass Replacement

The term "thermopane" is both a brand and colloquial name for Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) also known as double pane or triple pane windows. Double pane or thermopane windows provide superior insulation when kept in good working condition. Any damage to the glass or seals, though, can negatively impact the performance of your thermopane windows.

What Is Thermopane Glass?

Thermopane glass is an industry term for double- or triple pane windows, also known as insulated glass units. Insulated windows have two or three panes separated by spacers to create an air pocket between the glass panels. The panes are sealed to protect the pocket, which is sometimes filled with argon or krypton gas to make them more efficient.

Insulated glass units are framed in vinyl or wood, and occasionally aluminum. Rotting wood is a common cause of broken seals within double pane windows, and this could lead to more severe window damage if not addressed in a timely manner.

Reasons to Replace Your Thermopane Glass

There are several reasons you may choose to replace your thermopane glass. These include:

• Broken or Cracked Thermopane Glass
  Cracked or shattered thermopane windows are unable to insulate your home effectively. If you detect cracks, big or small, in one pane or in multiple panes, it's important to contact your local Glass Doctor about thermopane replacement.
• Compromised Window Seals
  If your thermopane window gets foggy, the seal may be to blame. A broken seal may seem cosmetic, but if moisture is getting in, heat and AC-cooled air are getting out. Window seals weaken or break for many reasons: repeated freeze-and-thaw cycles, exposure to direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations, to name a few. These situations are all expected and tested for during the manufacturing process, but can still take their toll on your windows over time
• Aging Windows
  Window technology has changed rapidly in the last decade and your older windows may no longer be the most efficient available. Further, older windows are more susceptible to damage. Get ahead of repairs by proactively replacing your windows.
